I have never seen one of these graded - VDDR-001 on Variety Vista

Kurisu

Listed on Variety Vista as the VDDR-001
The "Doubled Earring".

I had a stash of beautful fresh P Maya rolls and decided to open a few earlier this year...
Pulled about ten of these out of one of the rolls and posted about it here in this forum.

Did a bunch of searching and couldn't find a single graded example anywhere!

When I realized I couldn't find any graded examples I decided to send a few nice ones off.
Went and picked them up today Was so excited I took a few pics still sitting in my car outside the coin shop lol.

There's no way I'm the first to get some of these graded... right?!!
Would PCGS recognize this variety? I have a couple even nicer ones I'd like to send off.

If a variety sells for less than the submission price, they tend not to get submitted.

I had coupons
Also I wanted them
Also...don't have the slightest idea what they'd sell for, I couldn't find a single graded example.

Sweet!
I'm really curious if our host would recognize this variety.
I'd be willing to send in of a couple of the even nicer condition ones just because

I don't know either. But my point was that it is possible that no one else has submitted any

None currently listed in the PCGS 'pop report'.

Do not see "Variety Vista" on the "PCGS Variety Program" webpage.

Might want to contact PCGS CS directly, and inquire.

Edited to add: Nothing currently listed in the NGC census either.

Very cool new variety, thank you for sharing and spreading awareness.

In also looked on NGC's Variety Plus. Nothing there either.

To bad OP did not send best example out first to whoever took over for Wexler or one of the other variety sites to have confirmed as first and then be able to have the "discovery coin" designation on the label. Does it add much or any value, I do not know as I have never offered any of mine for sale. But it is nice to have just because.

Here's an apparent listing of what some may have sold for.

Soooo if I sell the MS65 I'll start the bidding at $3
And try and hype up the fact that only 3 are known to be authenticated

You're probably not going to sell them. But if you did, you would definitely take a screen shot of that ANACS pop report and show that in your listing as well.
